Express Box launch

Glensound will unveil two product launches at this year’s NAB, the Express Box commentary system and a digital hybrid and mobile unit. The Express Box is a two position commentary box for those requiring a cost effective system without compromise. Two identical full commentary positions each have their own mic inputs with selectable 48v phantom power and compressor/limiter. There are two common talkback circuits available to each commentator along with 4 common inputs and a sidetone control for headphone monitoring. Also new is the GS-MPITBU, a 1U 19” rack featuring a digital POTS hybrid alongside a GS-MPI005 Broadcasters’ Mobile Phone. There is a single input and output on the rear panel that is switched via a front panel toggle switch to be using either the phone or the hybrid. The GS-MPI005 part of the system is a quad band 2G GSM phone enabling broadcasting specification interfacing to the mobile phone network. The audio is RF shielded so is unaffected by the RF of the antenna. There are also controls for input and output level. C1248
